Metallica - Dyers Eve (Song)

Circus by Britney Spears

“Bad Brains” by Bad Brains LP (1982)

Coal Miner’s Daughter

Plan - Stay Too Long - Single
Stay Too Long, for me , shows the more upbeat side of Plan B’s nature. If you think he only does down beat or deep stuff this is a real head lightener for you. It’s bright from the start and dare I say it, chirpy and catchy.
It’s one of …
Animal Collective - Merriweather Post Pavilion (Album)
Merriweather Post Pavilion is an album released by Animal Collective in 2009.
